Top choice in Santa Cruz de la Palma


Just four tables, a 200-year-old building, cool jazz on the soundtrack, a choice of dishes that alters daily according to what is fresh in season and universal acclaim from diners. Plus Carmen, an owner-cum-chef who is such a delight you want to adopt her. The food includes vegetarian options and ecological wines. You'll need to reserve way ahead.

Choices can vary from dishes like spinach pastel (bake) with a chickpea sauce to simple grilled fish with a slice of lemon. And, nope, you won't hear that dreaded ping of the devil's tumble dryer here – and nothing is fried.
